Mr. Everett Bean, superintendent of the Sunday School, presided, with Dr. William L. Darby and Dr. Paul F. Douglas of American University, as speakers. There was special music by a girls' double quartet from American University. Dr. Osborn was believed to be the oldest living graduate of Cornell University, from which he graduated in 1872.
